2021-2022 NHL Regular Season Thread - Vaccinated and Back to Normal?

[Obsidian]

Over the last two seasons that makes the Leafs and Oilers the only Canadians team without an outbreak I believe.

[Richybear]

McDavid already had it, so barring Leon getting it, we don't have any other players that could









....

Hold up hold up.
Define outbreak? Cause last year we did have games postponed, but there was only one player who popped hot (Armia). We have two players now (Gally & Niku), but no games were postponed or practices canceled.

[Obsidian]

Guess I misremembered the postponements from last season.

[NynJa]

Armia popped hot.
kotkaniemi was in quarantine as a close contact, a lot of people speculate he lived with Armia due to this.
The team was forced to postpone games for fear of a brewing outbreak, but no one else popped hot.

Of course TSN/SN didnt report anything more than “montreal postpones games due to covid”, were not Toronto. They were too busy reporting on what Matthews had for lunch that day.

Sucks, never want to see anyone not be able to go out on their own terms
Unless its a piece of shit like Torres or Cooke.

Craig Smith/Marchand now in COVID protocol after practicing with the team this morning. Not good. They recently played against Calgary, who is also going through same thing.

[Obsidian]

3 more for the Flames in COVID protocol. Shutdown, here we come.

Not like it's going any better for the NVA or NFL right now.

[Salodin]

Lomberg for the Panthers is out cause of covid protocol hopefully it was for contact with someone who's positive, and not cause he's positive himself.

So the Caps play tomorrow night in Chicago and then Friday in Winnipeg.

Because of the country's covid rules, TvR and Dowd can play in Chicago but not in Winnipeg

Just pause the season already. Something something safety something.

[Richybear]

something something money revenue > safety something

...lol. Imagine looking at the league imploding to COVID in real time and going "yeah you're sick, so what? Get out there."

[Obsidian]

Draisitl misses the open net, then takes a terrible penalty in the offensive zone which the Leafs score on instantly.

Frost lifted from the Flyers' game mid-game, lol. You'd think two years in we could get the fucking test results BEFORE the game starts for a multi-billion dollar league.

[Obsidian]

Poolman also pulled mid-game. This league is such a joke.
